Busket Hostel in Chiang Rai City

This is my second time staying here. The location is excellent, right next to the old bus station and the Night Plaza, very convenient. It's also not far from the clock tower.

The reception staff were very helpful during my pre-check-in to leave my luggage around 7:30-8:00 AM on January 29th, 2026.

I will definitely choose to stay here again in Chiang Rai city.

*** I wish the hotel had separate rooms for men and women.

1) The location is really convenient, and the customer service is okay.

2) The room/dorm is alright. However, the door makes a noise every time it opens and closes (quite loud). I was worried about disturbing my roommates. The pillows are thick, the big, round, bulging kind, but after a long day out, I could fall asleep immediately (people who are particular about pillow comfort probably wouldn't sleep well, because my head was on the round, bulging pillow). My roommates don't turn on the air conditioning, except at night when it's not too cold, but I only come back to sleep at night (I come back to tidy up and change clothes in between, so it doesn't make a big difference). I just find it strange that they can stay inside without the air conditioning when the temperature isn't very cold, without opening the windows. I really admire them.

3) The toilet paper is outside. Imagine having to tear off the paper outside before going into the toilet. Inside, they provide individual sheets of tissue paper (like the tissue paper provided when eating out). The toilet paper outside and inside the toilets is quite thin (whether it's good or not depends on the individual; you can decide for yourself). Only the lowest floor toilets have roll-type toilet paper (also thin). The shower rooms on the third floor have orange lighting, which is a bit dim. White light would be better. There may be slight water accumulation on the floor.

4) To go upstairs, shoes must be left on the shoe rack downstairs; there's plenty of space. There are public slippers outside the showers and toilets; those who mind should decide for themselves.

It's great value for money. The location is also great. I'll be back.

The hostel is located right behind Chiang Rai Bus Terminal 1, very convenient if you're arriving by bus and getting off there. It's budget-friendly, has a great location, is close to food, and is clean.

Excellent hostel! Friendly and helpful host, every time you leave the premises they will greet you with “have a good day”. Hostel very clean, well manage. They have kitchen, laundry coin, rooftop, communal area, good WiFi coverage, bathroom/toilet in every floor, luggage storage, and all the necessities. 🙌🙌

I cant say anything bad about this hostel.
The rooms were clean and there was enough space in the locker for my bag.
Free water and snacks avaible 24/7 and a nice area to sit on the rooftop.
Location was great and only a few seconds away feom the bus station.

Highly recommended! Friendly and helpful staff, free snacks and drinks, spacious common area, offer cheap scooter rental, just located right behind the bus terminal 1 and night market bazaar, very convenient!

It's a shame that there are no showers or toilets in the private rooms, which is to be expected for a hostel!
It was very helpful that it was so close to the night market.
